recognizes sustainability as a third pillar, alongside performance and sensorial quality. This trend is particularly vital for rinse-off formulations, as these products are discharged directly into wastewater and tend to impose a greater environmental burden than leave-on products. Besides, the current trend toward tightening
regulations on environmentally concerning substances, including microplastic beads, is expected to drive a surge in consumer scrutiny- further increasing pressure to ensure products in the rinse-off categories meet these rigorous environmental standards. Maltooligosyl glucoside liquid is a readily
biodegradable and naturally derived ingredient produced through enzymatic technology utilizing the power of microorganisms. Taken together, these findings indicate that
maltooligosyl glucoside liquid can serve as an effective ingredient that enables gentler cleansing without sacrificing performance or sensory appeal. In today’s personal care market, where
sensitive-skin consumers have increasingly complex expectations for cleansing products,
